$10 Liars
The noisy, angular post-punk outfit Liars came along at just
the right moment: Their 2001 debut 'They Threw Us All In Trench
And Stuck A Monument On Top' came out at a time when indie-rockers
wanted to do nothing more than hang out in Brooklyn, rediscover
dancing and listen to Gang of Four-inspired post-punk. What
made this foursome more than just trend-surfers was the fierce,
genuinely psychotic brio they brought to this magic formula.
